Erin and Sean - Wedding - June 30, 2007

Saturday June 30 was the wedding of Erin and Sean. You should remember them from their engagement session here. I knew when I first met these two that their wedding was going to be awesome. Their love for each other is beautiful. Plus they have a blast and are always smiling!

It was to be an intimate affair held on the Northside of Pittsburgh at The Inn on the Mexican War Streets and The Ancanthus.

Fine dining is an understatement. The the executive chef, Doug Ferraro, prepared incredible dishes for the guests. The event was managed by Thom Naylor who is an expert in hospitality. If you are planning a small to medium sized engagement, or just want to have a fabulous meal, you definitely need to check out this place! Ask for Thom.

Erin and Sean's family and friends are all very loving people and a lot of fun. Thank you to everyone for hosting such a grand event. We had an awesome time!

Instead of some pics, check out the reception slideshow we showed. Enjoy!!

Chandra and Anthony - Wedding

First off, Happy Father's Day out there to all of you Dad's! Especially my Dad (and all of the other Dad's in my life!!). We had a great Fathers Day. I will post some pictures later.

In the meantime, yesterday we shot the wedding of Chandra and Anthony at Beaver Lakes Country Club. My usual partner, Bridget, was unable to accompany me yesterday. I had the good fortune to bring along two great friends/photographers. Bob Fritz and Marcus Lang (Get that website goin Marcus!). It was GREAT having these two guys with me. A) We had a lot of fun! B) We captured many amazing images!! Below you will see a mix match of our shots together. I can't thank you guys enough for coming along!

This wedding was awesome. Chandra, has wonderful taste and provided so many details. The best thing about the details was that she created them all! It is always a treat when there are so many little things that make up the big picture. We were shooting details all day/night. The ceremony was outside overlooking a huge pond with a fountain in the center. The reception took place in the ballroom of the clubhouse. Thank you both for having us there! We had an awesome time. Enjoy your honeymoon!

Here are some pics!




Awesome shot Bob!






















Marcus, Me and Bob :-)

Donna and John Wedding

Saturday, Bridget and I drove up to Old Stonewall Golf Club for Donna and John's wedding. It was a beautiful day for a wedding! The location was stellar as well. Donna and John both come from great families and their friends are awesome too. The entire event took place at the Golf Club, which made it very nice. They were married on the back patio overlooking the golf course. What a view! We did struggle with the wind a bit on Saturday, but it created some fun moments too (you will see below).

One of the coolest parts of the day was that Donna's, best friend, Ing, was her maid of honor and the officiant! Ing is a Baptist Minister. The ceremony was so touching and unique. What a wonderful friend! It was so sweet.

We had a really fun time on Saturday and wish Donna and John the best on the beginning of thier journey as husband and wife. Enjoy the next two weeks in Hawaii!! Thank you and your family and friends for making us feel so welcome. We enjoyed being with you all!

Here are a few moments from the day:












I mentioned the Wind earlier. We had Donna and John for some alone shots. So we were shooting along, having some fun and using the wind to create some drama with the veil. We ended up getting more than we asked for! The wind swooped in and took the veil up the side of the castle and onto the roof!! We did eventually get the veil returned, thankfully. Donna was so calm and relaxed when it was happening. This is the first I have seen something like this happen :-)

Check out the Fly Away Veil!!

Destination Wedding - Corrine and Nick

What a weekend! I headed down to Daytona Beach, FL for a fabulous destination wedding. I met Corrine and Nick, last year at Stephani and Jayson's wedding. We hit it off right away. When Corrine contacted me for their wedding, I was more than happy to meet with them! When she told me it would be a Destination wedding, I was certain that is was a perfect fit.

It was nice getting in early on Friday morning, because I had the chance to meet all of their family and friends. Everyone made me feel so welcome and comfortable. Friday night was the planned Rehearsal dinner, for the outdoors. Unfortunately a storm rolled in and prevented us from being outside. There was never a moment of Panic. Nick handled it so gracefully and within the hour they had everything moved to the indoor reception area of the hotel.

Saturday, was absolutely gorgeous! All of the details and moments happening around me were more than enough to keep me busy. I shot this event alone, so I was really steppin it up a notch to cover all of the angles!!

The event was held at the nicest resort in Daytona. The Shores has beautiful rooms, bar, patio, pool, hotub, etc... We got to enjoy all of the amenities. The ceremony was held outside overlooking the beach. After the ceremony the bridal party and I headed down to the beach to have some fun. Everybody was into it and we had a blast. After the beach, we hit the cocktail hour for some shrimp, oysters, fruit and drinks. Finally we ended the evening on the top floor of The Shores, for the reception. It is a beautiful room with all windows over looking the Atlantic Ocean.

I can not thank Corrine, Nick, their families and friends enough for their hospitality. I met so many wonderful people that I look forward to seeing again someday.

In the meantime, enjoy the reception slideshow (Click on the Image).

Stephanie and Jeremy Wedding

A few short weeks ago, I did the engagement session with Stephanie and Jeremy. That session was wonderful, but the wedding was even better! Meeting their families and friends was a treat to say the least. There is so much love coming at them from both sides of their families. This always makes a wedding day beautiful!

The day started off in a few hotel rooms, progressed to the church and then back to the hotel for the reception. Bridget and I had a few minutes alone with Stephanie and Jeremy to create some wonderful images of the two of them together. It was a lot of fun! The reception gave way to some emotional toasts and dances.

Stephanie and Jeremy are both hair stylists for the Geno Levi Salon (I cannot find a website to link to, but it is an AWESOME salon!). It was so cool to be at a wedding where Everyone had Great Hair! haha...

We want to thank you all for welcoming us into your families for the day. We had a great time meeting you all and documenting your day. We can't wait to see you again. Enjoy your honeymoon!!!

I am going to post the slideshow that we played on our Apple Macbook Pro while we were at the reception. Stephanie and her mother requested that I post nothing new, because they want to see the images for the first time, together. I think that is such a wonderful thing! The love that the two of them share is incredible. So, please enjoy the show!
